Sweat Reduction Treatment Twickenham

At Thames Skin Clinic, we offer effective sweat reduction treatments to help manage excessive sweating and restore your confidence. We commonly treat underarm sweating, palms sweating, hand sweating and feet sweating.

These conditions carry the medical diagnosis of hyperhidrosis. They lead to unpleasant odour from the bacterial growth within the sweat produced, which can be mistaken as poor hygiene. Excess sweating can affect your work, social life and day-to-day activities. 

At Thames Skin Clinic, we’re here to help you feel comfortable in your skin. Book your consultation today to safely and effectively reduce unwanted sweat.

At Thames Skin Clinic Dr Hemming consults with all patients for sweat reduction.

Hyperhidrosis Treatments Twickenham

Excess sweating, known as hyperhydrosis, is caused by the overactivity of sweat glands trying to control body temperature. At Thames Clinic, Dr Anna Hemming successfully treats patients who suffer from excess sweating through hyperhidrosis treatments. She has over 15 years of experience in medical aesthetics and is a fully qualified medical doctor. 

We’ve helped patients who work in a variety of occupations, including nurses, chefs, CEOs and management roles. Our hyperhidrosis treatments are performed in our CQC-registered clinic in Twickenham, which is easily accessible for patients from across London too.

This treatment is also used to treat other medical conditions such as migraines, facial symmetry, smoothing wrinkles and releasing spasticity in medical conditions like cerebral palsy and many surgical procedures.

How do you stop underarm sweating?

One of the easiest ways to stop underarm sweating is by using an antiperspirant. However, this doesn’t work for everyone, which is why hyperhidrosis treatments can help. 

Hyperhidrosis treatment involves fine botulinum toxin injections placed gently and superficially under the skin. This blocks the nerve supply to the sweat gland, stopping sweat production. From this treatment, sweating is reduced by an average of 85% and at least half in 95% treated.

How do you stop sweaty hands?

Hyperhidrosis treatment can also be used to stop sweaty hands. By blocking the sweat glands and stopping sweat production the hands and feet can be treated. Sweaty palm treatment is safe and helps improve hand function.

There are several different brands of  treatment available. At Thames Skin Clinic we will only use the best pharmaceutical approved injectable products, with supporting research and safety profile. We do not use cheap, unlicensed, unregulated products.

These are made by 3 different highly professional pharmaceutical companies. The results are tried and tested, and the treatments are very safe.

Dr Hemming has written articles about the use of sweat reduction treatment and the differences in the premium brands.

Are hyperhidrosis treatments suitable for me?

Sweat reduction or hyperhidrosis treatment is suitable for anyone wishing to decrease excessive sweating. Treatment is not suitable if you are pregnant or breastfeeding or if you are undergoing IVF treatment. We always discuss your medical history during your consultation.

How safe is sweat reduction treatment?

Sweat reduction treatments are safe and performed by Dr Hemming, who is extremely experienced in aesthetic techniques. She is both medically qualified and has a very experienced eye for natural treatment.

Will I feel any pain or discomfort during my hyperhidrosis treatment?

Hyperhidrosis treatment at Thames Skin Clinic is not a painful treatment. Local anaesthetic is applied before treatment and a cold compress may be used. You may notice some very mild discomfort when treatment is placed. This is short-lived and does not linger after treatment.

Are there any associated risks with hyperhidrosis treatments?

The side effects from hyperhidrosis treatments are minimal, if any. Botox is injected through a very small needle; nevertheless the injection site may be tender and mild bruising may occur. Ptosis, or drooping of the eyelid, is very rare, much less so with the experienced injector physician.

It should not be used if pregnant or breastfeeding as we have no research to prove it is safe for your foetus or child.

Care must be taken if you’ve been diagnosed with neurological or bleeding disorders. Additionally, if you’re currently suffering from a skin infection or allergy or taking particular medication, you should let your practitioner know. Your specialist will be able to advise you further.

Please discuss any current medication with the doctor, especially if you are taking aspirin or Ibuprofen. Medication may need to be stopped before treatment.

How much downtime is usually needed after sweat reduction treatment and what should I expect?

After a sweat reduction treatment, there may be a small bump on the skin which usually settles in 5-10 minutes. Occasionally a small pinprick bruise may occur. There is no significant downtime and full aftercare advice will be given at your appointment.

Treatment for excessive sweating vary by the area of treatment (forehead, underarm, palms, feet). We often get asked about the cost of treatment. At Thames Skin Clinic we pride ourselves on results rather than focus on the price of a treatment, it is more important that we get the correct quality of product rather than offer cut price treatments, products and services (especially when it comes to medical treatments). You will never see Thames Skin Clinic advertising services on social coupon sites such as Groupon as we believe they have a negative impact on our customer safety, results and satisfaction. We also wish to abide by the advertising regulator and work in a safe ethical manor.

Our prices reflect the skill, training and premier product choices we have made as well as the true reflection of the beautiful bespoke clinic surroundings.
